Thanks for an awesome video Ric. Me and my girlfriendhave recently visited santa monica, malibu and venicefrom the U.K. We took some time to visit Golds gym,muscle beach and the peir and had an awesome time, sothe video has refreshed some great memories. The placeis so inspiring and it must be amazing to live aroundthere, I would love to move over given the opportunity,but for now will have to get by with your great videoblogs!

So much enjoyed seeing Muscle Beach again. My uncle(Blain Munro) introduced me to Muscle Beach in 1966.Uncle Bain worked out at Muscle Beach several times amonth from about 1938 until about 1950. He rememberedworking out next to a very young Steve Reeves. Backthen they were called health fanatics.

Good stuff Ric. We have friends that live in SantaMonica (about 1/2 a mile off the beach), so my wife andI had a chance to hang out on the pier when we weredown their visiting. If it wasn't so d@mn expensive Iwould probably move down there. The weather is amazing!
